(AAP)Simona Halep and Kaia Kanepi shakes hands after their first round match at the US Open.

Kanepi broke again in the fifth game and never looked back as Halep won just 59 percent of her first-serve points compared to 80 percent for Kanepi in the set. "She played quarter-finals a year ago", she said.

However, she is capable of blasting through opponents and a furious Halep found herself on the wrong end of a 6-2 6-4 scoreline.

It's an experience you can only live in NY and it's one of the best feelings in the world. "I like the atmosphere in the tournament and in the city". "I like the weather: humid and hot". Halep and Serena or Venus Williams were on course. "It's just a chance for them to just hit out".

In addition, defending champions Rafael Nadal and Sloane Stephens were slated to play.
